This place deserves 0 stars. I believe they are responsible for the declining health and ultimate passing of my father. I wish we never took him here in the first place, but I want to save people from this place! My sister has since filed a complaint with the health department.

He had hip surgery in December and was doing well in the hospital, they recommended that we transfer him to a rehab facility to get BETTER. These people put him in a diaper, never had appropriate food to eat, was left alone for hours at a time, and was NOT CARED for at all. Every time I went, he was sitting by himself with cold and hard food that he was unable to eat. At the time he was only supposed to eat soft foods and every time we went he had something he couldn't even eat. The "nurses" never pushed him to eat or do his rehab exercises. They neglected him and left him to feen for himself.

This place is also terrifying at night, many elderly people left alone and often times when we went there were people calling for help. Once, there was a person cutting their toe nails in the cafeteria. Everything about this place is terrible and it is not an exaggeration. My dad gave up hope in this place. The worst experience ever was when my sister and I went, he hadn't had a bath in a week. We asked the "nurses" to give him a shower, he had been in bed for 7 days at this point. When they got him up, he had a seizure. My sister and I obviously had no idea what to do, but the "nurses" DID NOTHING. Literally, we asked for an ambulance or something. They did not even know what to do!

It was the most terrifying thing I have experienced, after many failed follow ups on our end to get a conversation with the imaginary doctor, days had passed. We never once met a doctor in charge of his care. The only meeting that ever took place was about money even though my family pushed and pushed to meet his care team. I am fully convinced this awful place was responsible for his decline and ultimate passing. Care takers were rude when we asked questions and had concerns about his food and daily routine. They are unprepared for actual medical needs and hate their jobs, literally I heard them talking about it. I hope this place closes. There are so many more complaints and stories, but please stay away. It is like a terrible sad movie in there. Any positive review has to be fake.

The Commonwealth physical therapy department is top-notch, very professional, and great at helping patients and residents with their therapy needs. The RNs and LPNs are great, and the majority of the CNAs are very good at what they do. There are a couple of CNAs who could do a lot better, but for the most part, the care received here is great. The physical building is not very inviting, but the housekeeping staff is on the ball and does an excellent job of keeping the center very clean. The administrator likes to be kept informed of any issues and is good at staying on top of things; he has been a great help.

I have no complaints. I received exactly what I expected; great professional service, caring employees and a well thought out plan to get me back on my feet. It worked! Thank you Commonwealth Rehab I feel great. Dan

My grandmother was here for a short time for rehab. I enjoyed working with the staff in getting her back on her feet. She is currently at home and doing really well. I am a nurse by profession and I am aware of the challanges people face at nursing homes however, Commonwealth Health and Reahab was above and beyond a great place to put my grandma.

The staff was inept; they were not trained to appropriately handle my father's needs (although stated they could handle acute care). There were repeated occassions when he needed assistance--had his request light on--and after 45 minutes of waiting, called my mother, who then ran over there to get their attention. This was unacceptable. Under no circumstances would our family recommend this facility to anyone.

Commonwealth Care is a poorly managed rehab facility with significant staff turnover and low quality care. My father-in-law was in the facility for over 2 months, during which time, we needed to have a family member present throughout the day. Staff is slow to respond to requests for assistance and spoke poorly of other patients in public areas. I would never send a family member to this facility.

My mom has only been at this facility 1 week and already I have had to make numerous calls because of their piss poor service. This is not a place to put a patient who is completely bedridden they will be ignored/overlooked for sure. The communication is terrible starting at the administration level, often times the staff no nothing even basic questions, they cant answer. They reaaly deserve a rating of 0 incompetent

My 85 year old dad was there for two months. He loved it and I loved it. Rehab Center was great and did him a world of good. OT and PT worked with him on a regular and consistent base. He was able to leave and go back to the things he loves like gardening. We liked the staff. We overlooked the decor, which is lacking, for a very experienced rehab center and liked the fact that Fairfax Hospital Emergency room was attached. Having two tiers of medical professionals convinced me to have him do his rehab with Commonwealth. Over the two month stay I got to know other patients and their families. Everyone I talked to were very happy they picked Commonwealth. I have already recommended it to my dad's neighbor who had a fall the other day and needs a rehab center. Thank you Commonwealth for caring and loving my dad. S. Anne Johnson

I enjoyed my stay at Commonwealth Health and Rehab. The staff is very friendly and the care is excellent. The Physical and Occupational therapy offered by Commonwealth was great. I feel like I have my life and independence back. The admissions department helped in giving me direction from the start untill the day I discharge. It was nice having a plan to get home safely. Thanks to the social worker I went home completely equiped to live at home. We had discussed more staff at home and the necessary equipment to be successful. I would recommend anyone needing this service go to this facility.

Piss poor service. Do not go there. They are unresponsive, poorly staffed and use under-qualified staffing. My mother lay crying out for hours with no one to help her. I got there just in time before she fell out of the bed. She ended up with bedsores because they failed to turn her. There was one nurse on the entire shift with a bunch of others unqualified for care. The one nurse on duty refused to send her to the ER when she should have so her kidney functions were diminished. She was there for less than a week only to have to be re-hospitalized.

Fair to middling at best, but head and shoulders above Cameron Glen Health & Rehab. The bottom line is that anyone living in any of these facilities needs a watchful advocate who has legal power to intervene. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, nowhere truer than in facilities of this kind.

Commonwealth does not provide quality care to it's residents nor do they provide Staff that are capable and speak clear English. Residents are left to sit wet in their beds and yelling in the hallways. I would not recommend Commonwealth.
